Lubricate Old Screws

Although you can pick up buckets of brand-new screws from the hardware store, this is sometimes an expense that you weren't anticipating. And if you're looking to save money, working with what you have rather than buying new is a budget-friendly alternative that just makes sense. Thankfully, it's very easy to lubricate rusty old screws that just don't want to screw into your wall - and all you need is a bar of soap.

You'll need to add some water to the soap bar for this to really work, but when you start to see bubbles, you can rub the screw into the bar and instantly add some lubrication. Just make sure you don't let it dry out before using it.
